Debuted in 1998 as a successor of Yamaha Y110SS, the Y125Z was the first 2-stroke underbone motorcycle with a catalytic converter. Beside being sold in most South East Asian countries especially in Malaysia and Singapore, it was also sold in Greece. With 17,5 PS, is one of the fastest underbones ever produced and is the result of aftermarket tuning such as engine tuning and exhaust tuning. It's similar with Modenas Dinamik.
